I want to kill two birds with one stone and get a helmet that I can use for both sports... Does anybody have any ideas.. I'm looking for a helmet that will fit comfortable and have decent looks and of course protect me from injuries?? Please give me your opinions

Bern would be my choice, but any good snowboard helmet with a liner won't hold up long getting wet. Triple 8 and others make "shell" type helmets that would work. One big thing to me is ear protection, I could care less how it looks, but companies seem to have quit making options with ear protection in wake helmets. To me ear protection is more likely to come into use than the actual helmet.

Although I use a TSG helmet dedicated to snow (Arctic Kraken), my 17-year-old uses my TSG wakeboard helmet and loves it. She uses the TSG Evolution and it's got flaps for your ears (to prevent ear drum impact) that double to keep your ears warm on the slopes. Of course, she uses it on the water when she hits rails too.

What is the difference between the snowboard helmet and wakeboard??? And is the insulation hard to dry out?

The wake helmet it all waterproof, so there is no drying out of the insulation. None of it can get wet. The difference as far as I can tell is warmth. The waterproof foam doesn't provide as much warmth and the ear flaps don't really keep your ears warm. Also, you don't have a goggle clip on the back of the wake helmet.

FWIW, I wear a helmet for snowboarding but no helmet for wake. I only ride boat. My opinion is if you get one for both you'll be sacrificing function and will end up ditching your in between helmet and buying one for each, which is what you should have done to begin with. The liners and flaps for a snow helmet aren't meant for water. A water helmet won't keep your noggin warm without a beanie underneath, which will significantly change the fit of the helmet, further defeating your efforts. And, as others have already pointed out, a water sports helmet lacks the goggle strap clip. You could wear goggles with the strap underneath, but that just looks silly, and will even further change the fit since, if you recall, you already need to wear a beanie underneath.

I have a Smith Variant helmet with the built in speakers for snowboarding and love it.

I have whatever cheaper style Pro line (?) helmet that OWC sells for riding cable.

I would suggest getting a helmet specifically for each sport.

Great point! I LOVE the skullcandy speakers in my snowboard helmet. nice to have tunes while riding for me. I have a cord that clips on my jacket that has a volume dial and a push button mute button that I can do with my gloves on. That way I can be social on the chairlift easily. I also have some Outdoor Research touch tech gloves so I can use the touchscreen on my phone with gloves still on. I love me some gadgets!!!
